Report for H&EG 2018
Another big thank you to my Heaven and Earth Grower volunteers who worked the gardens at Elmhurst Presbyterian and the Garden on Church Street. This summer we donated 369 pounds of organic fresh vegetables to local food pantries. While the numbers were slightly down from last year, I am grateful for what we grew. This number add to the donations for the last 11 years, grand totaling to 7,839 pounds. Much work has been completed this fall on the Church Street garden on the property of the First United Methodist Church. We tilled each plot (10), added chopped leaves/grass and even dug compost into each plot. So I am assured of a wonderful bounty next summer. Thanks be to God and thanks to ALL the super volunteers.
